BROKEN and STUCK Attempting To Move Our Caravan With A Broken Car. (Stressful)

[@gerrydempsey4443]

Jake your a legend. I'm an Ol Shool mechanic of 50+yrs and you pulling on a job like changing out the front diff and cv's without the expertise and proper equipment is a real achievement of which you should be extremely proud.💪 Well done young fella👌👍.

[@lilandjake]

Thanks legend! I really appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

[@firetofork]

Mate I felt it so much at the end- that feeling of your wrists and triceps cramping from bench pressing from such an awkward angle- front diffs are the WORST. Giving you a driveway and a soccer mum car to run around in was the least I could do, especially while it was bloody raining here. PS: thanks for all the comments, I was wondering why people kept talking about it on my latest video 😂

[@KateMcmullin-v1t]

Paul here I am a mechanic of over 35 years experience Jake you did awesome with changing those cv,s and diff on the ground with limited tools go one you for getting yourself out your own shit ,luv the videos

[@craigfowler9671]

YOUR a patient man Jake,,, that's all I have to say 🙏

[@Asharz005]

i was thinking the same thing holy fuck

[@MYeahman]

Glad someone said it holy shit

[@bobtheboozer15]

Well done very impressive much easier with a full workshop and no time constraints

[@markfoster74]

Great work Jake, its never easy doing something that is unknown, especially mechanical, but you persevered and smashed it out the park 💪

[@PenelopeRobertson-d2y]

Love your videos. You both make me laugh. You are such a great team who is able to laugh at each other and also be so kind and supportive of each other. Keep doing what you are doing and don’t change. Stay safe. ❤

[@paulrichardson2229]

Well done guys so glad to see you got out safe and somewhere you could safely work on the car, big shout out to firetofork for helping out and we'll see you guys back on the road trip

[@rodneym5868]

Well done Jake 👏 You did the best you could in a difficult situation and good on ya Harry 👍

[@jasonrixon2777]

Great vid Lil and Jake. You must have been stressed to the max. Hats off to Harry and awesome job as an amateur mechanic.

[@dutteridge]

Well done Jake. I take my hat off to you for tackling your own car repairs. I follow Harry and have done for a long time and it’s great having friends you can rely on for help. Keep up the good work. Hopefully your holiday to Vietnam has helped you relax and recover from the ordeal. Looking forward to more of your adventures.

[@jaspreetbains2776]

Even though you broke a second cv it was most likely still cheaper doing it yourself and you now know your car better . Well done

[@spartannomad3036]

Well done for not quitting and fixing the car yourself , Jake. Wifey and I did the Ningaloo coast and The Gibb 2 months ago, air con blower motor siezed, fixed with WD 40, lh cv boot split, replaced complete shaft in Broome, rear tyre blew just before Ellenbrae, 2 new tyres, and inverter shook it self to bits internally, found out at El Questro and had buy new one at Kunnara. From Derby all the way home to midwest NSW, we had this intermittent low creaking sound, I thought rear leaf springs probably needed a good clean, turns out rh bearing was shot.

[@pwpaulwest]

Hi Jake, this is a lesson on the Darwin Awards. Three blocks of wood stacked sideways on a trolley jack is pretty sketchy. Yes you have the wheels under the car in case it falls off the jack but with that diff on your chest when it drops you will be a dead you tuber. I know you are in someones driveway doing an emergency repair but please be more careful.

[@ehholden2376]

So true

[@yommmrr]

Yep I had a friend killed in the same way. His dad found him after a couple hours.

[@aussiequest9543]

After watching a stressful film, so glad you put the part of you changing out the diff on the end. It did make me laugh and brought back many bad memories. Good on you both for still able to smile.

[@philandclarepatch6262]

Jake- you legend! If tgrres such a thing as a super handy guy, you're it! Well done! Phil

[@madihurley5519]

AWWWWW YOU GUYS!!! this looks like it was so stressful - wish we were there to lend a helping hand. Absolute legends for getting through it though, tougher through every hardship. LOVE YAAA xxx

[@dirtyoff-roadaustralian5525]

Good to see you gave it a go and unfortunately when it rains it will often pour down Great content guyses

[@Coxynkel_adventures]

Omg Jake you should be so proud well done your knowledge has expanded for the ranger now and Harry is a legend helping you both out and we love your episodes love and ps Hazel is so cute 👍🏼😉🥰💜

[@robertarmbruster5650]

Wow, a really good effort you two. The limits of an IFS vehicle are legendary and worse still most newish vehicles the front axles rotate all the time, even in two wheel drive. At least my new model DMax does, so I have seriously thought of addiing Free Wheeling Hubs to save those pissy little CV's. My old 2010 BT50 had a button to disengage the front drive assembly so the CV's did not rotate in 2WD.

[@emmalouise9713]

Oh my goodness!! What an adventure that was! Well done with the mechanical work. That is so typical of how diy mechanical jobs goes 😂😅 but it still saves you money 💰 plus the life experience ! Plus you come home from your holiday without needing to do repairs- priceless 😊

[@MickBurns-ev1nn]

Guys. Surely you must’ve heard me yelling at the tv about the cv 😂😂. Probably the best scenario in the long run. Another entertaining episode and glad you got out by yourselves. Sux about the diff but as you said, you learned how to fix stuff. That’s how most of us learned and ultimately, you lived through it. ❤😊

[@lilandjake]

I can only imagine! 😂😂😂 yeah, exactly an expensive exercise but glad Jakey is a little bit mechanically minded. We won’t forget it that’s for sure. 😅

[@lyndalouise3480]

What a stressful time, great job fixing the car Jake, well done Lil supporting Jake, hope you have or have already had a great holiday. 🙏👍❤️🕺💃👏👏👏👏

[@TonyBrumfield-l7l]

Champion effort Jake. Great work sticking with it to get it fixed. Determination 💪

[@gregorymoy7165]

Well done Jake brave man and Lil congrats to you as well no one could have handled that bolt the way you did 🤣🤣 you rock, any way a big shout out to firetofork for your support aswell..... Jake just as a word of caution NEVER get under a car supported by a trolley jack and a block of wood you need to buy yourself a set of rated car stands I had my Rodeo up on a trolley jack went to the shed to get a spanner loud crash came back to find the car on the ground the seals inside the jack gave out and down it came,... loving the videos please keep them comming 👍👍👍👍👍

[@warrenandrews2972]

Legands well done,Esperance does it again

[@kevanharding9716]

Nobody wants this shit to happen but it does…that car has done a lot of work and how are you ever to know when somethings gonna fail. Great team work great job lil with the driving. What a fantastic show you guys supply us with …..love it love it ! You guys are awesome.

[@sarin62]

The benefit's of towing a weighty caravan offroad and in the middle of bumfuk.

[@CampAndDriveAustralia]

I haven’t seen one of your videos for a while. This one was a beauty. I felt your pain guys. Really good job. 👍

[@jamiegarton1967]

WOW!!! 2 CVs and a diff. Well done Jake it looked like a nightmare to change out.

[@lilandjake]

I know!! 🤦‍♀️ what an absolute mission! 😅

[@MAD-HATTER-1996]

OMG stress well done you two

[@JenBolst]

Gosh you had me stressed out again with this one! Harry to save the day 🙌 how good.

[@JohnDorward-os4jk]

Jake, good on you for having a crack at your own mechanical repairs. You did well and you learned heaps. But how scared were you when you first took it for a run after the repairs. 😮 That’s what always freaks me out when I do stuff myself. Watching this has emboldened me (I’ll probably wreck something now). Great video….love watching you Jake,Lil and Hazel. Have fun in Viet Nam.

[@JohnJones-op2qu]

That’s a major job! Well done Jake!

[@aussiewalkabout4x4]

Jakey boy, your patience is legendary ... lol

[@MarshClarke]

Great info. Very Humble atleast u had a crack n have new knowledge

[@dvst8er69]

Those orange things on the canopy roof look great, wonder what they would be like to put under the wheels in soft sand……

[@peterwooldridge7285]

Great video...the last couple of minutes were so familiar and funny...well done!

[@antoninosolano7667]

Awesome vid mate your the man great effort you didn't let it beat you 👍 👏

[@jeremyharris4415]

Thanks for sharing a other video with me Lily and Jake I’m so glad you both got out of that camp spot together safely you both had me worried all week wondering what you both was going to do. I tried putting my hands through the my phone to help you but unfortunately I can’t do that lol. 😅. I think everyone that is interested in 4WD should all learn how to do basic enology on how to fix your vehicle if you break it including myself

[@kamgirl64]

Love your resilience guys!!

[@63holden]

I see a Titanium hybrid in your future 😂 Lil, I could feel your anxiety through the screen 😮 love the honesty Jake ❤ Thanks for sharing. Cheers to Harry 👍🍻

[@lilandjake]

Oooooo! Imagine!! 🙌🏼 I know what. Stressful situation… thanks for watching as always! 🤩

[@johnnysmith9916]

Your an absolute legend Jake as much of a pain in the ass it was for you and lil to do both them cvs and a fkn diff me and the boys had a absolute crack up watching this episode was sick!! You guys are definitely the best travelling and just over all channel to watch on YT, keep it up guys much love for this channel🤙🏽

[@mgregory2430]

Pre-watch. Looking forward to the youthful enthusiasm!

[@lilandjake]

Woooo!! Happy Saturday, hope you love it! 😍

[@Bradp72]

Oh boy.... i feel for ya Jakey.... well done mate 👍

[@benwetselaar6621]

Jake mate next time (hopefully not) use some jack stands doing a big job like that......other than that love your videos "as it is no bullshit"😅

[@hughmorton4986]

Job well done . If I had the time I could tell you some stories over 45yrs of 4wdriving. 😂

[@jamieboydmusic6956]

Poor Lil, having a panic attack.

[@olliejay5727]

Spotted the parents in dongara, was weird when saw it wasn’t you guys 😂

[@rolandwaters107]

Hey Lil and Jake next time reach out to your subscribers, could have hooked you up with a workshop to use and tools ! But a solid effort to knock it off on the floor.

[@robertsavvidis8061]

JAKEEEEEEEE I take my hat off to you taking on a job like that and in a driveway on your back.

[@JaseNelly]

The noise will be your transfer case, my old ranger did the same thing

[@lilandjake]

Eeeeekkkkk! 😢

[@JaseNelly]

​@lilandjake your chain will be loose inside, I ened up getting another transfer case from the wreckers and just swapped it over and never had an issue after that

[@stevehogan723]

Great video guys will done 🍻👍

[@NotYourAveargeAlien]

Great job guys! I hope you guys enjoyed Vietnam 😃 Greeting's from Hoi An!

[@biglap.australia]

I just wanted to ask….was the front of the car only held up with one trolley Jack? I hope not.

[@HannesMuller-d2y]

Great one Jake!!!😅

[@lilandjake]

Cheers legend!! So glad we could get it all sorted. 🙌🏼

[@PeterC245]

I am absolutely no motor mechanic , but in the first minute of this blog I could tell you had a broken CV joint ,

[@tallboy49]

That is why modern 4 wheel drives with cv joints are not good in rough conditions. The old solid axle would not have broken like that as they were tough. Cv joints might give better articulation but they are a weak point on the suspension.

[@outbacknomad9939]

Absolute legends. Lol i cant do it i cant do it .thats it work smarter not harder. great episode love the content

[@That_Girl_7_11]

2:22 is the moment when Lil started losing it. 15:59 Jake did a great job fixing the track. 20:23 Hazel couldn’t give a Rats, she just happy to be with you guys! You guys at the end,.. 28:34, All you’ve done is sit in the van on TikTok,… Jacob that is lies,….😂😂,….I can’t do it,… Yes you can,… I can’t,…. Yes you can,….. “Laughing” I caaaannn’t doooo iiiit, “Laughing” Yyyeeessssss,…… you ccccaaannnn! Lol Have fun on your holiday guys!

[@Caesar-salad-MM]

Love you guys Keep it up... 👍

[@jamieh4x4]

Hope your overseas trip was a calm relaxing one :)

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Lilli and Jack, buy a Isuzu D Max much better vehicle they are made for Australian standard. Anyway I’m glad you’re safe and sound and it’s only universal joint

[@gregdwight60]

Big shout out to Harry 👍🍻

[@jasonmcnamara1745]

Spare cv in a ifs is not a waste you will probably need it in the future

[@michealplater9007]

Lil, had one job, hold the bolt. Sorry two, bring the water bottle out.

[@bitminerbob6731]

Why didn't you use the MaxTracks? They're on the roof. :)

[@mrbadbaker1]

Literally coming here to say the same thing… always the same with influencers, all the gear no idea. And the fact she had the handbrake on too…

[@Mitchell_JC]

they weren't bogged?

[@Melvg23]

@@Mitchell_JC The idea is not to get bogged, you can use the maxtracks to build a bit of a road and get tractrion. If the wheels are slipping, use them

[@Mitchell_JC]

@@Melvg23 the problem wasn't traction though, it was steering

[@danielpetersen753]

All the gear and no brain to use the gear

[@craigmcdonald1098]

use your max tracks !!!!

[@lilandjake]

Sorry lol 😅

[@whatnow4x4]

Great video guys im going to come back here tomorrow to read all the Karen Comments that will be incoming 😂😅

[@lilandjake]

Hahahahhahahah Sunday 7am, schedule Lil and Jake roast review time 😂😂

[@whatnow4x4]

@lilandjake yeah its going to be good laugh 👍 in all honesty guys keep being you it's what makes your videos so enjoyable 👌

[@JoshBarnes]

That ranger be like........ "Let me die" hahaha 😂

[@stevepierce3509]

Your a champion mate having a crack at whatever challenge presents itself. Well Done. But I recon this is your excuse to get a Landcruiser Troopy you have wanted mate. Blown CV's mate. Or a damaged CV Shaft from loading up under weight to much possibly. I'm not sure if your car has separate rear diff locks but they are handy when your front CV's are blown out. You can remove your front drive shaft to the front wheels so that the front 4wd cannot engage. Would have been more expensive mate if you got someone to do it for you.

[@deedeelemons2035]

If you missed that episode, I’ll link it here, he says? Geez us!

[@live_work_play]

Poor Jake xx

[@ehholden2376]

If you had jack stands under the car you could of used the jack to hold the diff up in place Looks very unsafe jack with a block of wood holding up car

[@dotwillcoxson5352]

Lil is a better driver than Jake!

[@Sentinel-Ai]

Love you guys lol but please use your radios haha

[@joegalipo9842]

Legend guy's,

[@craiganstiss8087]

Hi Lil and Jake I enjoy your vids but Please Jake don’t work on the car without jack stands, you can’t trust the jack for that, I did noticed you positioned your wheels under the car body but still that’s fine if you’re changing a tyre or brake pads but not if you are going to be lying under it with the diff on your chest or putting you head under there. Keep enjoying your travels. kind regards Craig 🤙

[@jamieboydmusic6956]

Was thinking CV

[@lloydtucker-p6w]

mateee these vids frustrate me but entertaining

[@MagnumJack]

jacks back , first to comment again !!!! will enjoy your video.😁

[@lilandjake]

Legend! Yiew!! Hope you love the vid. 🤍

[@GEEJAE47]

Good vid brah

[@jaspreetbains2776]

Eveb though you broke a sexond cv it was most likely still cheaper doing it yourself and you now know your car better .

[@trevorpridham5644]

ever heard of max trax?

Cant use 4wd Wont us Maxtrax

[@stuartwallis9049]

Please tell Jake to stick to bitumen where he belongs.

But that’s no fun! 😂

[@danielpetersen753]

I feel no brain cells where used

[@davidnewton6241]

Can't believe you don't care about your dog going thru the windscreen in an accident, you both wear seatbelts when driving for a reason, restrain your dog, shouldn't be on the lap of the driver as well. Also you could of used you recovery boards in the sand , you have them use them , good job getting out of there in the end ,

[@Mr_RPE]

Stop gunning it Everytime

[@andrevanhees4451]

That was the hardest episode to watch ever. You need to do better.

[@Mangalitza2422]

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU PUT SO MUCH STRESS ON THE REAR DRIVE TO PULL YOUR OVERWEIGHT CARAVAN THROUGH THE SAND???,WHEN YOU HAVE A WINCH THAT YOU COULD USE , IF YOU HAD IMPLEMENTED A GROUND ANCHOR WITH YOUR SPARE WHEEL,BEGGARS BELIEF MATE.

🙈🤓 When they say push things to their limits,you really don’t have too 🙈🦘🦘 I will give you 10 out of 10 for never stop wondering if couldn’t be done.✅. Just a thought could you use the winch to pull the front around a bit. Safe travels 👏👏👏🦘🦘🐶
